Seasoned journalists Ted Malanda and Clay Muganda have reportedly resigned from Standard Group Media.

The two are said to have sent on their resignations recently as the company continued to reel from a financial crisis that has seen employees go without salaries for several months.

Already, tens of journalists at Standard Group's Radio Maisha have moved out to go start a radio station under the ownership of Mt Kenya University's founder Simon Gicharu.

Gicharu who owns the fast rising TV47 is setting up a radio station named Radio 47.

The mass exodus of top journalists from mainstream media to upcoming firms and/or government has also affected Nation Media Group.

Recently Nation Newspaper's Nakuru Regional Editor Stella Cherono resigned to settle for a lucrative position in government while Gerald Bwisa a Trans Nzoia based correspondent quit to join Governor George Natembeya's communication team.

Nation Media Group correspondents are a worried group so far as their annual contracts are yet to be renewed as is usually done at the beginning of the year for the second week running.

Standard Group employees unionised in Kenya Union of Journalists called for the intervention of the latter to help resolve the piled salary arrears stalemate.

Sources from within the Mombasa Road-based media houses said they only received 80% of their October salaries in December.

Agitated staff heaped blame on current CEO Orlando Lyomu who took over the reins from Sam Shollei, the latter who has also been adversely mentioned for contributing to the company's current situation.
